Fascism. Authoritarianism. The question has always been, could it happen here? Because the answer has been NO does not mean that it will always be so. It is happening here. It is happening right now. Trump crossed the rubicon this morning. For the first time in American 1/
History a President of the United States has talked about stopping a Presidential election. He is probing and testing the reaction to see what he can get away with. We have voted in this country for 244 uninterrupted years through World Wars, Depression, Civil War, 2/
Assasinations and civil unrest. In America, we vote. Voting is our sacred inheritance. It has been secured with the blood of American patriots from the killing fields of Lexington, Yorktown, Gettysburgh and Normandy. It has been expanded with the sacrifice of men like John 3/
Lewis , the courage of Rosa Parks and the martyrdom of Dr. King. Stopping an election ends the American experiment. Trump is losing and he knows it. He is grasping for power like any dime store Mussolini would. The thing is, this is America, not Trumpistan. We will vote. 4/
This morning we received the worst economic news in American History. US GDP collapsed by 33 %. The first wave of evictions and foreclosures will come this fall. It will dwarf the catastrophe of the Great Recession. Trump has wrecked this country and it will take many years 5/
To recover from his lethal stupidity and incompetence. He must not be allowed to wreck American liberty and kill American Democracy. We are the oldest Constitutional Republic in the World. We will Vote. We are Americans.
